Volatility: ATR (14)

Volatility contracting, high confidence Week of September 25, 2026

CONTRACTING - Volatility is contracting compared to 8 weeks ago - High confidence

The current weekly ATR(14) for PFE is 1.18, representing 4.11% of its latest weekly close price of 28.67.

Compared to eight weeks ago, when the ATR was 1.23, weekly volatility for PFE is contracting.

The 1x ATR band suggests that a normal weekly range for PFE would be between 27.49 and 29.85. Extending this, the 2x ATR band indicates that a wider, but still plausible, weekly range could see the stock move between 26.32 and 31.02. These bands describe the expected weekly range, not price predictions.

What would change this read

An increase in the weekly ATR(14) above 1.23 would signal a shift to expanding volatility. If the weekly ATR(14) were to stabilize at 1.23, it would suggest that volatility has become stable compared to eight weeks prior.

52-week range

Bullish, high confidence Week of September 25, 2026

BULLISH / High position in 52-week range / High confidence

Pfizer (PFE) recorded a 52-week high of 29.21 on 2026-08-31 and a 52-week low of 23.62 on 2026-06-22.

The latest weekly close for PFE is 28.67. This price is -1.85% away from its 52-week high and 21.38% above its 52-week low.

PFE's position within its 52-week range is 90.3%. This indicates that the stock is trading very close to its 52-week high, suggesting strong upward momentum and a mature phase of its current bullish cycle within this weekly timeframe. The midpoint of the 52-week range is 26.41.

What would change this read

A weekly close above 29.21 would signal a breakout to new 52-week highs. Conversely, a weekly close below the midpoint of 26.41 would indicate a significant loss of recent momentum. A drop to the 52-week low of 23.62 would fundamentally alter the current bullish outlook.
